We do have a utility that could be extended to do this. Our program fladduser does indeed add users, but I did not add that functionality as I didn't think it was useful on a desktop computer, for the average user. But it would not take much effort on my part to add it in, either. I have tended to stay away from Python usage in ToriOS because the overhead incurred when running applications (much heavier memory usage than compiled binaries, or scripts). The other issue, are you using FLTK with python, or GTK? We have tried to work our way away from installing GTK things by default (obviously PCManFM is GTK, and LightDM uses GTK currently). This is why I have been creating the ToriOS binary package, and the FLTK indicators. That said, it still sounds like a useful application. I would suggest storing the information in vCard (vcf) format, since it would be useful to use in that way especially. -- Regards -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~torios-dev Post to : torios-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~torios-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
